 SENATOR SHARP brings up HB 44 as the next order of business before            
 the Senate State Affairs Committee and calls the first witness.

 TOM ANDERSON, Aide to Representative Martin, prime sponsor of HB              
 44, states that Representative Martin is begrudgingly pushing on              
 with the bill; he believes it has been gutted, with it's intent and           
 effectiveness severely dampened.  The original intent was to                  
 eliminate any monies from charitable gaming being contributed to              
 political candidates; but currently, that is not how the bill                 
 reads.  We are just looking at removing permits from political                
 groups.  Political groups would only be allowed to hold raffles.
